My Love Hath Vowed He Will Forsake Me Lyrics by Thomas Campion

A Book of Ayres

0

My loue hath vowd hee will forsake mee
And I am alreadie sped
Far other promise he did make me
When he had my maidenhead
If such danger be in playing
And sport must to earnest turne
I will go no more a-maying
Had I foreseene what is ensued
And what now with paine I proue
Vnhappie then I had eschewed
This vnkind euent of loue :
Maides foreknow their own vndooing
But feare naught till all is done
When a man alone is wooing
Dissembling wretch, to gaine thy pleasure
What didst thou not vow and sweare?
So didst thou rob me of the treasure
Which so long I held so deare
Now thou prou'st to me a stranger
Such is the vile guise of men
When a woman is in danger
That hart is neerest to misfortune
That will trust a fained toong
When flattring men our loues importune
They entend vs deepest wrong
If this shame of loues betraying
But this once I cleanely shun
I will go no more a-maying
